Joe Rogan after announcing he's detransitioning to live as a man again.In a recent post shared on his Instagram account, Caputo, 50, revealed that he had stopped taking hormones several years ago and was awaiting surgery to remove his breasts, after detractors criticized his more masculine appearance.Caputo, who publicly came out as transgender in 2011, also shared that he would be returning to his given name of Keith.
As of press time, his social media handles still identified him as "Mina Caputo."In the midst of discussing his journey on Instagram, Caputo also stated that he wanted to make an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, which ranks as one of the most listened-to podcasts in the world.A post shared by minacaputo (@minacaputo)"I wish someone like Joe Rogan can come grab me so I can tell my story in depth, because I'll keep myself on the show for like three hours," Caputo said. "I can get into it all, because I understand it.
I know what hormones do to the body. I know what it did to me. It castrated my soul. Not only does it castrate you physically, but mentally, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually."Newsweek has contacted a representative of Rogan via email for comment.Rogan has commented on transgender issues on a number of occasions on his podcast.
During a previous episode, he said that "if a woman is in a locker room with a fully intact man who's 6 foot 4, is walking around and pretending he's a woman, that's madness."Last year, Rogan called TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who is transgender, "a confused person," amid backlash over a marketing collaboration with Bud Light.Caputo has now dedicated much of his social media space to criticizing transgender women in sports and taking a stance against children being allowed to transition.Many Americans agree.
